There's chatter that the NHL could let all teams end the "regular season" with 71 games played and start the Playoffs immediately.

If that scenario plays out, our FNHL playoffs would not work.

Perhaps a suggestion would be to repurpose the remainder of the 2019-20 FNHL playoffs and plug it into the start of the 2020-21 NHL season's schedule. Just a suggestion.

:iatp::iatp::iatp:
I've opened a discussion thread to park this good idea.

The NHL and NHLPA are not at odds so for sure they will make damn sure the season continues in a few weeks or a few months even if it mean a delay to the start of the 2020-21 season.

It's all about $$$ and both the NHL and NHLPA want to make up for lost $$$ due to the current PAUSE. Count on it.

I see things the same way. No labor tension. The pause is a result of a pandemic that's out of their control and the NHL is simply doing the right thing to contribute to process of slowing down the spread. But when they get a chance, the owners and players will be chomping at the bit to get started.

Looks like we're trending toward a longer pause than weeks.
"Months" is what schools and local government are people are talking about in different circles.

Although a restart in July seems like a workable scenario still.

Talk of a possible 31 team playoff format with no regular season makes sense.

That would nudge us toward Option 1 with the FNHL playoffs setup in parallel with the 2020-21 season regular. We’ll see what happens.

I'd like to see that 31-team free for all royal rumble playoff format. However Bettman has stated he'd like to see the regular season playout because there are only a handful of games left and several teams are on the cusp of a playoff spot.

I can only imagine that a number of NHL cities will be locked down until mid-late Summer. Even if that's not the case, there are still border closures in effect like the one between the US and Canada. Kind of a small barrier to playing games in the immediate future.

I require from my teams, proper levels of anger, belligerence and some good ol' fashion piss 'n' vinegar.

I'm missing hockey in a bad way right now. I'm getting the shakes and cold sweats. It's definitely not COVID-19 either. haha 

I've watched some old games getting rebroadcast but it's not the same. And are those games from only 15 years back slow or what? Wow! Crazy how fast the game is today.

I'm starting to think the NHL might resume in late Summer and play games in neutral sites in a tournament style format. At least to conclude the 2019-20 season.

Then for the 2020-21 season, I'm guessing the NHL will start in November and play a shortened season with limited capacity in arenas.

That's what I'm guessing given how things have been playing out both in the US and what I notice in Canada.

:iatp::iatp: I'm starting to think you're on the right track. MLB has talked about a truncated regular season played in Arizona. That's tournament style alright.

Wonder is Vegas area has enough arenas for 31 NHL teams to play out the regular season and the playoffs. There are clearly plenty of hotels in Vegas and a workforce ready and willing to come out of isolation and work.

    Yesterday at 03:39:40 PM
  • Daddy: My comment on the real Wolves are if they win a chip then there is no such things as bad contracts. The point of all contracts are to win Championships.

  • Daddy: Where you dont wait for trades to happen on scoring sites or SS updates and the only thing asked of you is to run your own franchise and see how good you are. On an EVEN playing field.
    Today at 01:48:59 AM
  • Daddy: Its already near impossible to get into NFL LIVE. We had to start up a 64 team league just to accommodate the waiting list. True Story.
    Today at 01:55:29 AM
  • Daddy: Once full. NBA, NHL, & NCAAs will be very difficult to get into. People dont just walk away from LIVE often and when they do... They usually want back in. Legit dont miss your team in your sports. Get them while you can.
